One-liner: a 12,000 m² packaging-and-logistics institute (Paterna) with a Transport Simulation Centre, RFID pilot plant and packaging-manufacture/waste pilot plants — 500+ test types for validating packaging, materials and supply-chain tech.
What you get
- Transport Simulation Centre (vibration, drop, climatic) and RFID/IoT pilot plant for logistics tech validation.
- Packaging manufacture pilot plants (extrusion, injection, thermoforming, lamination) and a waste/recycling pilot plant.
- 500+ test types; RecyClass (plastics) and Aticelca/CEPI (paper & board) recyclability testing + certification; advisory on the EU Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
Who it's for
- Packaging, materials, logistics and transport startups validating a new package/material, proving recyclability, or testing supply-chain / RFID / smart-logistics technology.
How to engage (routes)
- Direct test / pilot-plant contract — scope packaging tests, transport simulation, or a scale-up run; pay per service.
- Contract R&D / joint project — develop a sustainable package or logistics solution.
- As a subcontractor in your own grant — eligible external-service cost in IVACE PIDI-CV 2026 / NEOTEC 2026 / VIC Innovation Grants 2026.
Key facts
- 12,000 m² · 500+ test types · Transport Simulation Centre + RFID pilot plant + recyclability certification. Cost = per-service fees.
